Contact Lens

Contact Lens lost in eye, what to do: No worries, since your conjunctiva membrane prevents lens from going anywhere. Solution is flushing out with water

What to do if you have a contact lens lost in your eye; there is a membrane known as the conjunctiva inside your eyelids and attached to the walls of the eye sockets, which would prevent a contact lens from actually going anywhere

What should you do if you get a contact lens stuck in your eye?

First, if you have never had a contact lens "lost" in your eye before, you may be startled and agonized to find out that it usually hurts quite sharply. One reassuring fact is that there is no way that you can actually lose a contact lens behind your eye. There is a membrane known as the conjunctiva inside your eyelids and attached to the walls of the eye sockets, which would prevent a contact lens from actually going anywhere.

It is possible, however, for a contact lens to get out of place and end up beneath the upper lid of your eye. This can make it extremely difficult to find the contact lens and even more difficult to retrieve the it. Another way that this can happen is if the contact lens were to roll up or tear while it was in your eye and then the rolled or torn pieces of the contact lens can also find their way up under your lid.

Dry eyes are often a reason for a lost contact lens; flushing out is the solution

One reason that this sometimes happens to people is that they have dry eyes that cause the contact lens to stick rather than adhering naturally to the eye as it should when the person blinks.

The solution to a "lost" contact lens is fairly simple. Using water or saline simply flush the eye, and the contact lens should float out. If for some reason this does not work and you cannot retrieve a contact lens or piece of a contact lens from your eye, you should visit an eye care professional immediately to have it removed.
